Varanasi: Refusing to comment on the suspension of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Uma Bharti from the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), Sangh Parivar ideologue K N Govindacharya today (Nov 19, 2004) said that he had no opinion to offer on "a political issue within a political party".

"I have no personal opinion to offer on the political issue within a political party", he told reporters in Varanasi when asked for his comments on the suspension of firebrand BJP leader from the party recently.

Govindacharya also rubbished as "baseless and untrue" reports that the saffron party had asked him to work out a patch up between the party and Uma Bharti earlier this week.

Referring to his meeting with Bharti at her residence in New Delhi earlier this week, he said that he had visited her house along with a doctor after being informed that she was sick.

Replying to another query, he said there was no question of resuming political activities ever again.

Govindacharya said he saw no reason to reconsider his stand on the issue after announcing renouncing political activities on April 17, 2003.

The former BJP leader said he would not change his stand on the issue even at the insistence of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) of which he was a mere member and not a pracharak, which bound one to accept its decision.
